hello
@flashrom
Is
there a way to make flashrom NOT LOOK INTERNALLY but look at the external usb ports for the WCH CH341A programmer?
I only have a
laptop.
Hi,
flashrom can safely be used while the laptop is turned off. For a meaningful way of recovery you will need a *second* computer to run flashrom anyway. There are also some pitfalls: https://www.flashrom.org/ISP -- Kind regards/Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Stefan Tauner
hello again @flashrom
Could a flashrom option be added to allow only USB ports to be probed, programmed, etc. External programmers are cheap and there many laptops out here.
thanks again Boyce
